Crossbreeding layer and broiler chickens can lead to several disadvantages, including reduced egg production and lower meat yield compared to purebred lines. The resulting hybrids may also exhibit poor adaptability to specific environmental conditions and health challenges. Additionally, the genetic traits desired for layers (such as egg-laying capacity) can conflict with those for broilers (such as growth rate), leading to suboptimal performance in both categories. This can complicate management and increase production costs for farmers.

How long before cornish rock chickens lay eggs?
Cornish Rock chickens are a cross that is bred solely for meat. They normally don't live long enough to lay eggs. They are bred to grow too fast so they are prone to have heart attacks if allowed to grow much past broiler stage. If they don't die they will be crippled due to gaining so much weight while their bones are mostly just gristle. It would be cruel to allow a cornish rock to live past broiler stage.
The many varieties of dogs today are the result of what type of breeding?
Cross Breeding
What do you get when different breeds of chickens mate and we hatch the eggs what kind of chicken is that?
What you get is a cross breed. This is not always a bad thing. Breeds are born this way but with a lot more work than chance cross breeding. You can get some interesting combination when you do this on a home farm. I have a cross between an Araucana and a Cochin that produces "Gold" colored eggs.
How do you cross breed chickens to get a pure breed?
It is a long process and can take years. You need to have a plan detailing those traits you wish to attain or remove from you breeding stock. Begin with the best birds that you can get. It's easier to start with quality chickens than to breed unwanted traits out of a poor quality grandparent flock of birds. Keep accurate records to control mating. Identify and mark the best of the birds with the qualities desired. Never keep chickens with unwanted traits, cull or separate those without those desired traits.
How is cross breeding different from selective breeding?
Cross breeding is simply taking two breeds of animals and mating them together (Such as a Charolais crossed with a Hereford). Where selective breeding is selecting the what two animals you want bred together to produce a better animal.
